Chapter 234 The Villain Lady Arrives 62
"Oh my God, these guys actually did such a cruel thing!" Irene exclaimed, and hurried forward to open the wooden cage and helped a woman out.
"Hurry, we have to rescue them all." Tariq also hurried forward to help, his heart filled with anger and sympathy.
With the joint efforts of everyone, all the imprisoned women were soon rescued. They were trembling, tears were shining in their eyes, and they were full of gratitude to the team members.
"Thank you, thank you for saving us." A woman who looked older said with tears in her eyes, "We thought we would never get out again."
"Don't be afraid, everything is fine." Leo comforted, "We will take you away from here and back to a safe place."
Under the guidance of the women, the team members continued to go deeper into the cave. On the way, they told their experiences, how the goblins cruelly captured them, and how they tortured and imprisoned them. With every word they heard, the team members felt more angry and disgusted.
Finally, after passing through a complex area full of traps and mechanisms, they came to a huge cave. This cave was completely different from the previous ones. It was more spacious and more gorgeous. It was obviously the residence of the goblin leader.
"It seems that this is the place we are looking for." Leo said in a deep voice, "Everyone be careful, although the goblin leader is dead, there may be other dangers here."
The team members nodded, holding their weapons tightly, and stepped into the cave carefully. The cave was decorated extremely luxuriously, with all kinds of rare treasures scattered all over the ground, which were obviously looted by the goblins from all over. However, in such a magnificent place, there was a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
"Look, what is that?" Irene suddenly shouted, pointing to a corner deep in the cave.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge altar with several mysterious rune stones on it, emitting a faint light. Beside the altar were corpses that had been brutally murdered, their faces twisted and their eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Are these... all the goblins' sacrifices?" Mia's voice trembled a little, "They are so cruel!"
“Yes, they are such a group of inhuman creatures.” Leo gritted his teeth and said, “We must destroy everything here and expose their crimes to the sun forever.”
As he spoke, he swung the battle axe in his hand and slashed at the rune stone on the altar. With a crisp cracking sound, the rune stone instantly turned into powder, and the light on the altar also dissipated.
"Well done, Captain!" the team members cheered.
After destroying the altar, the team members carefully searched the entire cave to make sure nothing was missed.
As the last rune stone was shattered under Leo's firm axe light, the coldness and oppression in the cave seemed to dissipate. A fresh breeze blew quietly, bringing the long-lost breath of the outside world.
The team members smiled at each other, feeling relieved and happy after completing their mission. They turned around and prepared to lead the women who had regained their freedom to the door leading to the light.
"Come on, sisters, let's leave here and embrace a new life." Irene gently extended her hand, inviting the woman closest to her. The woman trembled and held Irene's hand, with disbelief flashing in her eyes, as if every step she took was in a dream.
The moment they walked out of the cave, sunlight surged in like a tide, and the golden light penetrated the long-standing darkness and haze, and sprinkled on everyone. The women closed their eyes at the same time, letting the warm light penetrate their eyelids and reach the deepest coldness in their hearts. When they opened their eyes again, tears had quietly fallen, tears of relief and rebirth.
"Wow...is this the sunshine? I can actually feel its warmth again..." A young woman murmured to herself. She looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, her eyes full of longing for the future.
"Yes, we are free." Another older woman tightly grasped the hand of her companion, her voice soft but full of power, "Thank you, without you, we may never see the light of day again."
The team members stood aside, watching this scene silently, with mixed feelings in their hearts. Tariq stepped forward and said in a steady and powerful voice: "You don't have to thank me. This is my responsibility as a brave man. But from now on, you need to walk your own path. We have collected some gold coins. Although not much, it is enough for you to start a new life."
As he spoke, he took out a purse full of gold coins from his backpack and handed it to the older woman. "Here are some gold coins. You can use them to buy clothes, food, or find a safe place to settle down. Remember, no matter where you go, you must be careful and protect yourself."
The woman took the purse with shaking hands, her eyes moistened again. "Thank you, really... Thank you for giving us a second life." She bowed deeply, and the women behind her followed suit, expressing their gratitude.
"But..." a young woman said hesitantly, "We...we don't know where to go. Our homes, our loved ones, may no longer be here." Her voice was full of confusion and helplessness.
The team members exchanged complicated looks. They knew that the problems these women faced were far more difficult than rescuing them. Mia sighed softly and stepped forward: "If you are willing to trust us, we can give you some advice. There is a small town in the north called Dawn Town. The people there are kind and helpful. Perhaps you can find a new home there."
"Chenxi Town..." The women repeated the name, and there seemed to be a glimmer in their eyes. "It sounds like a good place. We are willing to give it a try." Their voices were weak but full of determination.
"Okay, then we'll escort you for a while," Leo suggested, "until we're sure you're safe."
The team members had no objection.
Following Leo's proposal, the team members nodded in agreement, their eyes revealing their concern and responsibility for the future of these women. Irene gently stroked a woman's shoulder and said softly:
"Don't be afraid. We will accompany you all the way to Dawn Town. There is warm sunshine and kind people there. You will find your own happiness."
After hearing this, the women's faces bloomed with long-lost smiles, which were full of infinite longing and hope for the future. They bowed deeply to the team members again, tears and gratitude intertwined, and every action seemed so sincere and touching.
“Please allow us to express our deepest gratitude once again,” the older woman said with a trembling but resolute voice. “You are not only our lifesavers, but also our guides to rebirth. We will never forget this kindness.”
